In the page on how to build synfig the following was written:  
**Now you need to install all required dependencies. This is easy to do by running a special script shipped with Synfig’s sources:**  
**$ ./1-setup-linux-native.sh**

after typing this line i got some errors

**I am pasting my terminals content while i was trying to build synfig**

Hi and welcome here 🙂  
Could you please tell us _which version of Linux you are using (Distro/version/bitness)_  
Also you could check if your user is a member of the “sudo” group.  
Last you could try to run `sudo ./1-setup-linux-native.sh`

Hi @sagar.00joshi! It looks like you are using a special LiveCD-based linux. Am I right?

I am afraid our automated script doesn’t supports Kali Linux.  
In such cases I would recommend to install all required packages manually (see [https://synfig-docs-dev.readthedocs.io/en/latest/common/dependencies.html](https://synfig-docs-dev.readthedocs.io/en/latest/common/dependencies.html)). But I am afraid that such special-purpose Linux distro does not has all required packages.  
So, I recommend to install some general-purpose Linux Distro - Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, Fedora, etc.

hi thanks for replying  
I am not using live cd based or flash drive based linux  
i have installed both windows and linux on my system  
if i cant get all the packages i will probably think of installing ubuntu or debian or any other please suggest me which one would be better  
as i am a beginner in the world of opensource the question i am going to ask may look silly. :☹ curious to know :is it necessary to build befor we can contribute to fix issues? cant we just simply use some kind of ide?

No problem. 🙂

Yes, it is mandatory to build the project AND it is recommended to use IDE. My personal recommendation is to use NetBeans IDE - [https://wiki.synfig.org/Dev:IDE\_Linux#Netbeans\_from\_gnu.2Flinux](https://wiki.synfig.org/Dev:IDE_Linux#Netbeans_from_gnu.2Flinux)
